it was hard

really really hard to talk to my dad this morning. I wanted to vomit and cry and scream at him because I am disappointed and sad and so so mad about everything and feel so betrayed and abandoned, and about the fact that I cannot trust, and i wanted to tell him about what I believe about how we have to support one another because we promised to, and we promise to every week, and I wanted to comfort him because that is what I promise to do. Every week.

But I was scared that it would feel like talking to mom last Sunday felt: awful and dark. I hated that, and I didn't really know how to deal with it on any level. I just took a shower and cried and tried to understand the things she had said, and the things that I had said and was still saying inside my head. And then I got out of that shower and cried some more on the shoulders of some incredible women, and I think for once, I let people do what they promise to do. Every week.




Instead I just told him that I wished he was happy and I hope that things work out.

What things was I hoping would work out? I regret not telling him how I feel.

I am scared that I am shutting down again.

My dear friend, I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through right now. I don't know the details of it, but when it involves family, that's when it's the hardest and deepest. I can only imagine what it is you're going through and would dare say my family went through something similar this past year--if I'm going off of your description alone. (does that make sense? probably not.)

I'm grateful you have incredible women around you to lift you up and bear your burdens with you. I wish I could give you a hug. But for now, I will keep you in my thoughts and my heart.
